    The Social Fund for Development (SFD) was established by a Presidential Decree in 1990, in collaboration with the World Bank and UNDP, the European Union and three Arab Funds, mainly to mobilize national and international resources to be used for human development. SFD could secure US$ 1,550 million donations and soft loans. It facilitates and supports the economic reform program and mitigates its adverse effects on vulnerable and low income population groups. It helps to mitigate poverty and reduce unemployment by providing new job opportunities through financing small enterprises and by offering donations for community development and infrastructure works.

    SFD addresses structural social problems through further employment creation and income generation and through stimulation of institutional relations which would strengthen civil society and provide increased social awareness. One of the SFD's mandate is to activate local NGOs and build their capacities. It also helped make poverty alleviation a main priority in the national development strategy. SFD, contrary to some concepts, is not a poverty program. It covers three national priorities; poverty, economic development, and employment.

    ERSAP was successful in economically moving the country forward. Economic growth was considered the most important engine to create job opportunities and generate resources to alleviate poverty. However, the social sector has not been exposed to the same level of efforts. There is still a need to focus on social development as high national priority by holding a national conference on social development in Egypt, through various tested mechanism, that made the World Bank and the European Union rank it as the best social fund among 55 social funds in the world.


 

Answer the following questions.

What does SFD stand for?

What is SFD used for?

How did the government provide new job opportunities?

What are three main priorities of SFD?

Who fund SFD?

    Erosion is an important natural process, resulting in the distribution of the product of geologic weathering, and is part of both soil formation and soil loss. The world's landscapes have been sculpted by erosion. When the result is particular enough, we enshrine them in National Park as we did in Grand Canyon. Where erosion has worn down mountain and spread soil over the plains, or deposited rich alluvial silt in river bottoms, we gladly farm it. Erosion is a disaster only when it occurs in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    In some places, erosion occurs so rapidly, that anyone can see it happen. Deep gullies are created where water scours away the soil, leaving fencepost and trees sitting on tall pedestals as the land erode away around them. In most places, however erosion is more subtle. It is a creeping disaster that occurs in small increments. A thin layer of top soil is washed off fields year after year until nothing eventually nothing is left but poor-quality of subsoil that requires more and more fertilizer and water to produce any crop at all.

    The net effect, worldwide, at this general, widespread topsoil erosion is a reduction in crop production equivalent in removing about 1 percent of world cropland each year. Many farmers are able to compensate for this loss by applying more fertilizer and by bringing new land into cultivation. Continuation of current erosion rate, however, could reduce agricultural production by 25 percent in Central America and Africa and 25 percent in South America by the year 2000. The total annual soil loss from croplands is though to be 25 billion metric tons. About twice that much soil is loss from rangelands, forest, and urban construction site each year.

    In addition to reduce land fertility, this erosion result in sediment-loading of river and lake, siltation of reservoirs, smothering of the wetlands and coral reefs, and clogging of water in takes and waterpower turbines. It makes river unnavigable, increases the destructiveness and frequency of floods, and cause gullying that turns good lands into useless wastelands.

     Hacker and cracker are two terms that are closely related to computer. The first is so familiar that almost all computer users, either beginners or experts, know about it. However, the latter is apparently not as familiar as the familiar as the first. Rarely do computer users know what cracker is. Unlike hacker, this term is hard to be found in our daily conversation in spite of the topic. Consequently, such question as what cracker is and whether cracker is similar to hacker or not.

    Cracker is one who attempts to break into the system via cracking or guessing user passwords. Most of the crackers are young teenage punks who are very malicious and seek to get their kicks from destroying or alternating data on a system. The media often times mistakes the cracker for the hacker. Moreover, cracker's level of education or intelligence on the system and its inner working etc. is very low.

    Hacker, in the other hand, is an individual who yearns for knowledge. The hackers are very knowledgeable individuals. They often times know several programming languages, work extensively with the inwards and outwards of UNIX, have a firm understanding of all TCP/IP implementation and protocols. They keep abreast on all the security related issues involving computers. Breaking into a system for a hacker is a thrill, it is a challenge that they take on. The hacker takes much delight in exploring the system from the outside/inside searching vigorously for misconfigurations, bugs, and holes in the operating system that would allow them to break into a machine. Once in the system the challenge has been completed and they have succeeded in breaking in. it is against hacker ethics to alter any data aside from the logs that are needed to clean their tracks. They have no need or desire to destroy data as malicious crackers. They are there to explore the system and learn more. The hacker has a constant yearning and thirst for knowledge that increases in intensity as their journey progresses.


 I. Answer the questions briefly.

  1. What are the purposes of the cracker in breaking system?
  2. Why is the term of cracker hard to be found in our daily life?
  3. How does cracker break the system?
  4. What is the hacker ethic?
  5. Why does hacker want to break into the system?


 II. Decide which statement is true or false.

  1. Hacker is a malicious person.
  2. Hacker has more intelligent on the system than cracker.
  3. Cracker's activities are for knowledge.
  4. The media usually change hacker for cracker.
  5. Cracker doesn't want to destroy data.

    Standardization is the application of standards in the manufacture of products so that one is like nay other. Standardization applied not only to the product themselves but also to the methods used in their manufacture. For example, manufacturing companies use standards for their employee rules as use standards for their employee rules as well as for their products. There are usually standards for safety and work procedures in areas that affect employee behavior. There are, in addition, numerous technical standards that the product must meet. An electrical part must operate a specified number of times without failure. The part must also fit into the types of equipment it is supposed to.

    The use of standards within a company is usually a matter of common sense. The success may depend upon the competence of supervisory personnel and the effectiveness of the organization as a whole. There are also standards that originate outside the company. These standards are set through industrial and professional associations at the national, regional, and international level.

    A typical industrial association for setting standards is the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). Through NEMA, the leading electrical equipment manufacturers set and use standards for a wide variety of products, from lamp bases to electric-power-transmission equipment. Such standards apply to electric power requirements, use, durability, reliability, and so forth. Another group, the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) sets standard specifications and testing methods for materials. The American Standards Association (ASA) was established to serve as a clearinghouse and coordinator for the standardization work done by such groups as the above.

    The process of digestion begins when food is taken into the mouth. Chewing breaks the food into smaller pieces, thereby exposing more surfaces to the saliva. Saliva itself has a double function, it moistens the food, so facilitating swallowing, and it contains ptyalin, which begin the conversion of starch into simple sugars. Digestion do not occur until the food passes down through the oesophagus into the stomach. The stomach has both chemical and physical function. The walls of the stomach, which are protected by a layer of mucus, secrete juices composed of several enzymes and hydrochloric acid. The most powerful enzyme is pepsin, which are protected by a layer of mucus, secrete juices composed of several enzymes and hydrochloric acid. In addition, during these chemical reactions waves contraction and relaxation, known as peristalsis, sweep the walls of the stomach. They churn the food particles into a semi-solid mass known as chyme.

    From the stomach, the chyme passes into the small intestine through the pyloric sphincter. Much undigested material is still present. Proteins have not been completely broken down, starches are still being converted into simple sugars, and fats remain in large globule. In the small intestine the process of digestion is completed by the action of bile, which is secreted by the liver and released by the pancreas, and erepsin and invertase, secreted by the walls of the small intestine. Food, which are still undigested pass on in a liquid state into the large intestine, and are now called feces.

    Absorption of the products of digestion takes place mainly through the wall of the small intestine. Its inner surface is covered with minute hair-like projections called vili. Each villus contains several bloods capillaries and a specialized lymphatic vessel, known as lacteal. Glucose, fructose, galactose and the amino acids are all absorbed directly into the blood by entering the blood capillaries inside the vili. Glycerol and the fatty acids, on the other hand, pass into lacteals. The lymph then carries the fat up to the left internal jugular vein, where it enters the bloodstream.

Some strategies are:

  • Limiting the number of subordinate clauses in an utterance, (ie, those starting with which, when, that etc). Although they are useful for adding more information to a sentence, they should be used in moderation, eg:

    Research has shown, for example, [that primary and secondary level learning can be greatly enhanced] [when teachers recognise their students' own languages and dialects], [which may or may not be related to the language of instruction],...

  • Limit the number of conjoined phrases in a sentence, (ie, those linked together the commas and and). Avoid trying to pack too much information into one sentence, eg:

    Research has shown that learning styles, cognitive development, motivation, degree of subject difficulty, and test and exam conditions have an important effect on outcomes in the primary, secondary and higher education systems
    and that this effect can be determined by changes in teaching practice.

  • Always consider the possibility of saying something in several shorter sentences rather than one very complex sentence. For example, make a list of your main points and dedicate one sentence to each point;
  • Try to use everyday language rather that academic language;
  • Introduce new words or phrases with definitions;
  • Refer students to a glossary of terms;
  • Refer back to the section on academic vocabulary.

Listening is one of the most challenging skills for our students to develop and yet also one of the most important. By developing their ability to listen well, we develop our students' ability to become more independent learners, as by hearing accurately they are much more likely to be able to reproduce accurately, refine their understanding of grammar and develop their own vocabulary

Outline a framework that can be used to design a listening lesson that will develop your students' listening skills and look at some of the issues involved.

  • The basic framework

  • Pre-listening

  • While listening

  • Post listening

  • Applying the framework to a song

  • Some conclusions


     


 

    The basic framework
The basic framework on which you can construct a listening lesson can be divided into three main stages.

  • Pre listening, during which we help our students prepare to listen.

  • While listening, during which we help to focus their attention on the listening text and guide the development of their understanding of it.

  • Post listening, during which we help our students integrate what they have learnt from the text into their existing knowledge.


     


 

Pre-listening
There are certain goals that should be achieved before students attempt to listen to any text. These are motivation, contextualization, and preparation.


 

  • Motivation
    It is enormously important that before listening students are motivated to listen, so you should try to select a text that they will find interesting and then design tasks that will arouse your students' interest and curiosity.


 

  • Contextualization
    When we listen in our everyday lives we hear language within its natural environment, and that environment gives us a huge amount of information about the linguistic content we are likely to hear. Listening to a tape recording in a classroom is a very unnatural process. The text has been taken from its original environment and we need to design tasks that will help students to contextualize the listening and access their existing knowledge and expectations to help them understand the text.


 

  • Preparation
    To do the task we set students while they listen there could be specific vocabulary or expressions that students will need. It's vital that we cover this before they start to listen as we want the challenge within the lesson to be act of listening not of understanding what they have to do.


     

        While listening
    When we listen to something in our everyday lives we do so for a reason. Students too need a reason to listen that will focus their attention. For our students to really develop their listening skills they will need to listen a number of times - three or four usually works quite well - as I've found that the first time many students listen to a text they are nervous and have to tune in to accents and the speed at which the people are speaking.


     

  • Ideally the listening tasks we design for them should guide them through the text and should be graded so that the first listening task they do is quite easy and helps them to get a general understanding of the text. Sometimes a single question at this stage will be enough, not putting the students under too much pressure.


     

  • The second task for the second time students listen should demand a greater and more detailed understanding of the text. Make sure though that the task doesn't demand too much of a response. Writing long responses as they listen can be very demanding and is a separate skill in itself, so keep the tasks to single words, ticking or some sort of graphical response.


     

  • The third listening task could just be a matter of checking their own answers from the second task or could lead students towards some more subtle interpretations of the text.


     

  • Listening to a foreign language is a very intensive and demanding activity and for this reason I think it's very important that students should have 'breathing' or 'thinking' space between listenings. I usually get my students to compare their answers between listening as this gives them the chance not only to have a break from the listening, but also to check their understanding with a peer and so reconsider before listening again.


     


     

    Post-listening
    There are two common forms that post-listening tasks can take. These are reactions to the content of the text, and analysis of the linguistic features used to express the content.

    • Reaction to the text
      Of these two I find that tasks that focus students reaction to the content are most important. Again this is something that we naturally do in our everyday lives. Because we listen for a reason, there is generally a following reaction. This could be discussion as a response to what we've heard - do they agree or disagree or even believe what they have heard? - or it could be some kind of reuse of the information they have heard.

    • Analysis of language
      The second of these two post-listening task types involves focusing students on linguistic features of the text. This is important in terms of developing their knowledge of language, but less so in terms of developing students' listening skills. It could take the form of an analysis of verb forms from a script of the listening text or vocabulary or collocation work. This is a good time to do form focused work as the students have already developed an understanding of the text and so will find dealing with the forms that express those meanings much easier.

    • Two key areas of developing our students' listening skills.

    • The type of listening tasks we choose

    • The way we prepare our students before listening


 

  • Types of listening tasks
    Comprehension check questions are by far the most common type of listening tasks our students are given in class. Look at almost any language course book listening activity and you will find these. Sometimes they will be multiple choice questions, sometimes true false statements and sometimes open W/H questions. In many ways there is nothing wrong with this, but how often do we really do these kinds of tasks in our everyday lives? Do you sit down to watch TV or listen to the radio with a set of questions in front of you? I very much doubt it. As such these types of activities aren't developing our students' abilities to understand and process what they've heard in any meaningful kind of way.

  • Preparing students for listening
    Over many years I have taught lessons that so thoroughly prepared students to listen for the sole purpose of getting the correct answers to a set of prescribed questions that they could hardly fail to get a question wrong. I prepared the students by thoroughly pre-teaching all possible unknown words, checked that the students understood the context of the listening and then made sure that they and had predicted the possible answers to all the questions. Results were generally good, so what's wrong with this?

  • Well the problems begin the moment the students step outside the classroom into the real world. They are surrounded by a vast range of spontaneous and unpredictable language. They have no control over the range of vocabulary they may encounter or the kind of things they will hear or need to respond to. This is why many times; even higher level students who do very well in the classroom find it so difficult to cope when faced with a 'real' situation. We simply haven't taught them in a way that will help them cope with this

  • Listening skills are hard to develop. Students can do a variety of work before listening to help them understand the listening.

  • Why do pre-listening tasks?

  • Aims and types of pre-listening tasks

  • Selection criteria


     

    Why do pre-listening tasks?
    In real life it is unusual for people to listen to something without having some idea of what they are going to hear. When listening to a radio phone-in show, they will probably know which topic is being discussed. When listening to an interview with a famous person, they probably know something about that person already. A waiter knows the menu from which the diner is choosing their food.

  • In our first language we rarely have trouble understanding listening. But, in a second language, it is one of the harder skills to develop - dealing at speed with unfamiliar sounds, words and structures. This is even more difficult if we do not know the topic under discussion, or who is speaking to whom.

  • So, simply asking the students to listen to something and answer some questions is a little unfair, and makes developing listening skills much harder.

  • Many students are fearful of listening, and can be disheartened when they listen to something but feel they understand very little. It is also harder to concentrate on listening if you have little interest in a topic or situation.


     

    Pre-listening tasks aim to deal with all of these issues: to generate interest, build confidence and to facilitate comprehension.

  • Training your students to bring their own knowledge and their skills of prediction to their listening work can only help them when listening to the language outside the classroom. These skills are as much a part of listening as understanding pronunciation or listening for details.

THE MASS MEDIA AND MASS COMMUNICATION


 

    We have emphasized the dominance of traditional mass media in research and some criticism of society's effort at mass communication. In recent years, this equating of mass media with mass communication has proven troublesome as the variety of media forms merge and multiply with changes in technology and social need. Take for example, videotext, a system of distributing personalized information from central computer databases to subscribers through telephone lines or cable television. The media product is unique for each individual. The consumer interacts with the computer, similar to asking questions of a librarian.

    Small audio cassettes, the sort used for dictation and personal listening of music, were one of the essential media in instigating popular support of the 1979 Iranian revolution. The spiritual leader of the revolt, the Ayatollah Khomeini, then exiled in Paris, communicated to millions in faraway Iran by cassette. Motorcyclists passed along the small tapes among mosque, bazaars and homes where the grassroots of the revolution met (Katirayi, 1987). New tapes were frequently smuggled into the country, swiftly duplicated and then distributed.

    Rural China has used "media forum" to spread limited issues of newspapers and radio receivers among an immense population. Forum leaders (called cadres) interpret the media, translating news and information into local dialects, answering questions and giving local examples to supplement stories. Folklore group tour remote villages, giving plays on simple health practices interspersed with entertainment. In short, the dividing fine between the mass media and individual media is blurred.

    New media, personal of "small" media are gradually making their way into use.

    Mass communication should be viewed more as an institution than as simple particular technologies. Society needs information to exist as an organized community. Collective behavior – organizing, forming of institutions, providing services, merging specialized skills-is probably central to a good definition. This activity may be informal (as with the Iranian revolution), crudely skilled (as with the Chinese rural media forums) or a personal, high-tech dialogue (as with the computer-based videotext).

    You know that an ammeter measures the rate at which electric charges move trough a material, and that the rate of current flow trough given material varies directly with the potential difference (or "voltage") across it. That is to say the greater the voltage, the greater (other things being equal) will be the current flow.

    A meter called a voltmeter measures voltage. It consists of an ammeter placed series with a special piece of material, which limits current flow. Measuring the current that flows in meter circuit makes the measurement of voltage. The special piece of material is called a multiplier resistor. For a given ammeter and given multiplier resistor, large current will flow when the voltage is high, and small current will flow when the voltage is low. The meter scale is calibrated in volts, and read directly. It is the multiplier resistor which determines the scale range (as did that shunt in the ammeter)

    It is always desirable to keep current flow in a voltage measuring circuit as low as possible, lest the act of connecting the meter was not present. For this reason, the meter used is always a millimeter or micrometer-never an ammeter.

    The multiplier resistor will be built into most of voltmeter you will use, so you can measure voltage by making very simple connection. Whenever the (+) meter terminal is connected to the (+) terminal of voltage source, and the (-) meter terminal to the (-) terminal of the voltage source; with nothing else connected in series, the meter will reward voltage directly.

    Whenever you are using a voltmeter, take a great care to observe correct meter polarity, and to choose a meter having a maximum scale range greater than maximum voltage you expect to read.

Classroom Management
Teaching Large Classes Classroom Management

Large classes are a reality in many countries and they pose particular challenges.
 What are the challenges of teaching a large class?
 How can group work be used to help learning in large class?
 How can group work help in a large class when resources are lacking?
 How can good discipline be developed in a large class?
 What are the advantages of a large class?
Classroom Management
What are the challenges of teaching a large class?
• It's difficult to keep good discipline going in a large class.
• Students of different ages and different abilities, wanting to learn different things at different speeds and in different ways have to be provided for.
• Each student can’t be given individual attention they need.
• Books or teaching and learning aids may be lacking.

Classroom Management
How can group work be used to help learning in a large class?
In a large class, student pairs and groups can help each other and learn from each other. They won't get bored listening to teacher talk. Some tested strategies are:
Classroom Management
Organize groups to suit students’ abilities
Teachers of large classes could try:
– mixed-ability groups: The more able learners in the group can help the others to master the work so that the teacher need not teach some parts..
– same-ability groups: The teacher can leave the groups of faster learners to get on with the work on their own. S/he can give extra help to individual learners in the slower groups.
– using group leaders/monitors: Some teachers appoint faster, more able learners as group leaders or monitors who can help slower learners.

Classroom Management
• Monitor the groups yourself
The teacher needs to move around the classroom to see what progress learners are making and what problems are coming up. S/he can give advice, encouragement and extra individual help where it is needed.

Classroom Management
How can group work help in a large class when resources are lacking?
Group work can help teachers manage with few textbooks, or even only one text book.
• If teachers do not have enough books for each student, form groups so that each group has one book.
• If teachers have only one book: - let each group have some time to work with the book. The other groups can do activities that fit in with the theme of the passage in the book.
Classroom Management
For example, if the topic is 'family life‘, groups who have not yet read can work on pre-reading tasks around 'family life'. They can write down words they know on that topic, or talk about their families. The groups who have finished reading can talk about what they have read, or write down a summary. After about ten minutes give the book to another group, so that by the end of the lesson all the groups will have done some work with the book.
Classroom Management
With or without group work, if only one book is available, the teachers could:
• write the important bits of text on the blackboard before the lesson.
• make the text into a dictation, so everyone has a copy of the text written down.

Classroom Management
How can good discipline be developed in a large class?
Establish a code of behavior that is created by teacher and learners together. It should state clear basic rules of conduct that learners understand, such as:
• They have to work quietly;
• They may talk, but not loudly;
• Students who have finished the lesson tasks can read a book to keep them busy.

Classroom Management
Use the environment outside the classroom. It offers a new, different space when students get noisy or bored, and helps to reduce overcrowding.
• Teachers can work with some groups inside the classroom while the other groups are working outside (use different tasks or the same task)
• Teachers need to set up outdoor activities clearly and carefully and monitor them.

Classroom Management
Appoint responsible group leaders who can help maintain discipline. They can also give out and take in work for the groups, and explain what groups must do.

Classroom Management
What are the advantages of a large class
• When there are many students in a class, they can share many different ideas and interesting life experiences. This stimulates students and enlivens those parts of your lesson where students can discuss and learn from each other.
• During project work, students can learn to share responsibility and help each other. This also brings variety and speeds up the work.

Classroom Management
Teaching EFL learners requires a knowledge of the developmental differences of their students and of the appropriate management skills. These personal observations and experiences would provide ideas for classroom management and teaching strategies:
• Inside and outside the EFL learners classroom
• New Dimension
• Classroom management and discipline
• Using the board
• Routines and activities
• Work

Classroom Management
Inside and outside the EFL learners classroom
EFL learners market continues to grow amidst a decade of changing attitudes towards this sector of teaching. The teacher is viewed as a highly-skilled professional who has the knowledge, skills, flexibility and sensitivities of both of the students and of the language, and one who is able to balance and combine the two successfully. Most problems encountered by teachers are due to a lack of understanding of the developmental differences among the students and of the appropriate classroom management skills to deal with these.
Classroom Management
Differences include conceptual and cognitive variations, variations in attention spans and motor skills such as drawing and cutting, as well as social and emotional differences. An understanding of these differences can help develop the flexibility that EFL teachers require.

Classroom Management
New dimension
Classroom management skills need to take on a new dimension to control and cater to the needs of students. Since it is not possible for possible to observe all classes at the school, they should take charge of their own self-development. These personal observations will provide a starting point for further reflection and discussion in their schools.
Classroom Management
Classroom management and discipline
• In class, only books and pencil cases should be on tables. Avoid clutter – the younger the learner, the more organized the classroom..
• Use two areas of the classroom. For presentation of new language, practice activities using individual students, storytelling and opening and closing of lesson, the teacher will be near the board and half-faces the students. For the rest of the class, the teacher should move around the class a lot.
Classroom Management
Using the board
• Present new language at the board. Use lots of flashcards. Involve all students - ask individuals to perform small tasks: pointing to something, choosing a picture or sticking it on the board.
• Explain and demonstrate tasks you want students to do at the board. If using a worksheet, stick it on the board and demonstrate.

Classroom Management
Routines and activities
• Establish routines: Everyone starts the lesson feeling confident and attentive.
• Surprise activities can help to settle a class if students become too excited.
• When changing activity, try raising your voice to attract attention. This becomes a signal that students recognize.
Classroom Management
Work
• Be aware of what sort of work which students is good at. The teachers should observe the skills of matching, comparing and classifying. These are skills students will develop and adapt.
• When students are doing work, let them finish as much as possible. Fast finishers can be given another task.

Classroom Management
The fundamental qualities of classroom management.

Three attitudinal qualities of a teacher or a facilitator that assist students in the learning process are empathy (seeing things from the students' view point), authenticity (being yourself) and acceptance (of students' ideas and opinions).



HABIT

Posted by Deni Hamarismul | 06.54 | | 0 comments »

 

Have you ever stopped to think how you walk? Have you been aware of where you put your feet and how you move your weight from your rear foot to your front foot? Have you noticed how you move your arms and body at the same time you move your feet? If you had to think about all these things, you probably could not walk. Walking is a habit.


A habit is something you learn to do so well and you can do it without thinking about how to do it. When you were learning to write, you had to think about how to form each letter. Now you do it without thinking.


Scientists say people form habits because they get benefit from them. Some habits are easy to see. For example, you eat with knives, forks and spoons. If you did not cut up your food with knife, it would be hard to make pieces that are easy to chew. Eating a meal without a fork would make your hands very sticky. Imagine trying to eat a bowl of soup without a spoon! The benefit from other habits, such as biting fingernails, is not so easy to see. But people who bite their fingernails gain relief from nervous tension, so they get some benefit from this habit.


Everyone has both good and bad habit. A good habit is one that does you good only. Brushing your teeth after every meal and before you go to bed is a good habit. A bad habit is one that gives some benefits, but also harms you in some way. Biting your fingernails may relieve nervous tension, but it also leaves ugly nails.


People will usually give up, or break habits if they no longer get the benefit from them. A nail-biter is perhaps a young person whose nervous tension comes from lack of self-confidence. When such a person gains confidence, the nervousness probably disappears, and there is nothing to gain from biting nails.


To break most bad habits, you must find some way to make your habit more unpleasant. If you have been arriving at school late, remind yourself it is not fun to miss recess or have stay after school for being tardy. (Young Students Learning Library Vol 7)

  1. What is the definition of habit?


  2. According to the text, what are the examples of habit?


  3. In which paragraph that you find the answer?


  4. What do the scientists say about habit?

During the 19th century the Industrial Revolution provoked the first serious awareness of diseases associated with the workplace. Long working hours, dim light, lack of fresh air, and potentially dangerous machinery took their toll in physical, injuries and decreased resistance to such diseases as tuberculosis. The entrance into the industrial work force of women and children heightened society’s awareness of the health hazards faced by all workers. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, observers began to associate certain diseases with specific occupations; scrotal cancer among workers exposed to copper smelting, mercury poisoning in hat makers, and lung disease among textile workers were among the first such cause-and-effect relationship to be convincingly established.
In the 20th century, innovations in manufacturing and the introduction of new and more toxic raw materials and chemicals compounded the problems of occupational health. Particular dangers, undreamed of by workers of the 19th century, were associated with exposure to radioactive materials; to the wide range of chemicals used in the manufacture of paints, plastics, herbicides, and building materials; and to electromagnetic radiation, notably in the form of X rays, ultra violet light, microwaves, and infrared radiation.
Many human cancers were shown to be related to occupational exposure: bladder cancer by exposure to aniline dye; lung cancers by inhalation of chromium compounds, radioactive ores, asbestos, arsenic, and iron; skin cancer by regular handling of certain products of coal, oil, shale, lignite, and petroleum; and skin cancer, leukemia, and bone cancer by exposure to radium and X rays.
Physical conditions in the workplace, such as extreme heat or cold, prolonged loud or high-pitched noise, and vibrations caused by tools and machinery, have also come to be recognized as contributing to the development of specific diseases or chronic health problems. Finally, emotional and psychological stresses associated with work, and their medical consequences, have taken their place in the growing list of diseases labeled as occupational.

I. Answer the following questions.
1. When did the first serious awareness of occupational diseases appear?
2. What factors influence the occupational health?
3. What are the particular dangers undreamed of b the workers of the 19th century?
4. What kinds of human cancers were shown to be related to occupational exposure?
5. What is another cause of the occupational disease?

II. Find the synonym of these words.
1. dangerous (par.1) 5. exposure (par.3)
2. workplace (par.1) 6. regular (par.3)
3. wide (par.2) 7. tools (par.4)
4. problems (par.2) 8. extreme (par.4)

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English Progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, a song is general also use simple conversation language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually sample, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
Furthermore, songs can be appropriated by listeners for their own purposes. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time references.
In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion patriotism and, yes, even revolutions
Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs, such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary and studying the culture.
Thus, from the elaboration above, it can be concluded that by learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and it is fun to English.

33. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
a. to describe the song
b. to tell that singing is important
c. to amuse the readers with the song
d. to persuade the readers learning English through music and song is enjoyable.
e. to say that it is important learning English with English song

34. What topic does the writer introduce in the text?
a. English song
b. learning how to sing
c. learning English is the same as learning the song
d. learning music and English song is enjoyable
e. why use song in learning English

35. Which is not the argument that supports the idea that using music and songs can be enjoyable in language learning?
a. through songs we can learn grammar, practice listening comprehension and learn vocabulary
b. the songs are effective that make learners more motivated.
c. songs work on our short-and-long term memory
d. though songs cannot be appropriated by listeners for their own purpose, songs don’t have precise people, place or time references
e. through songs learners are relaxed.
